- Björklund in Almedalen, 6 July 2008.
- Björklund in Västerås, 26 April 2008
- Björklund in the Swedish Riksdag, 11 June 2008
The quote you are looking for is from Ecclesiastes:
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.1
Update: Someone at Almedalsbloggen spent the night comparing the Björklund speeches in detail. The results are posted here.
